CCS delivered more than we expected in a very short time frame. As part of the implementation process, the team ensured thorough knowledge transfer. This has enabled BK Gulf to realise the full benefits of the products immediately. We certainly made the right decision for our business by choosing CCS as our business partner.
CCS Candy is astonishingly powerful. The ease of use, 24/7 support lines and committed research and development ensures that it is without a doubt the leader in construction project controls. It provides effective, all in one project controls for construction projects… It’s the one software, that companies in the built environment cannot do without.
Contrary to the manpower addition seen during other software implementation, we have actually reduced the head count in Purchase, Accounts and Stores post implementation. The advantage we find in BuildSmart is the construction industry specific plug and play features be it in terms of yard store mechanism for pro-rata write off of project site establishments or in terms of hire charge debits etc.
With the risks and costs involved in deploying ERP systems, selecting the right people to partner with is as important as the right products – CCS definitely fulfilled both criteria. We've been able to develop effective project cost control for construction projects, that has not been possible to do with previous systems implemented.
CCS has been our accounting, cost accounting and estimating software solution for more than 10 years. It forms an integral part of the effective management of our company and with accurate cost accounting and management against pre-determined allowable being the core of our industry, we simply can’t operate efficiently without this system.

Bizcommunity is reaching out to South Africa's top industry players to share their experience of the current Covid-19 crisis, how their organisations are navigating these unusual times, where the challenges and opportunities lie, and their industry outlook for the near future.

CCS recently conducted a survey, among our clients, stakeholders and industry partners, to establish how they have been affected by the lockdown and what measures they are putting in place to manage the current situation. Some interesting insights emerged.
The construction industry is a highly competitive environment that operates on very tight margins at the best of times. The sector has been under pressure for some time now and the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic has added a squeeze to construction companies throughout the world.
Andrew Skudder, CEO of CCS, says that in difficult times the ability to manage costs and have intimate control of budgets is imperative for competitiveness and survival, and that software can enable this.
